Discussion[edit | edit source]

Wilson (2007)[1]:

“The fact that the immune system is an evolutionary process in its own right means that it can evolve adaptive solutions on its own time scale rather than on the time scale of genetic evolution.”

“The immune system is a fast-paced process of antibody evolution, created by the slow-paced process of genetic evolution.”
